Potato Harvest

Well, I'm finally getting around to posting about this year's potato harvest. We planted our potatoes on February 5 and harvested on June 4. We dug 8 pounds, 6 ounces of Red Pontiac potatoes and 15 pounds, 12 ounces of Kennebec potatoes. Since then, we've eaten them all sorts of ways, but my favorite fresh potato dish is definitely simple oven fries. We coat the potatoes in plenty of olive oil and season them with salt, lemon juice, and homegrown garlic.
